Rubbish. APC has nothing to offer this country.

When are they apologizing for 40% increase in electricity tarriffs with no improvement in power supply?

This is same thing they used to campaign against the PDP.

This country is a joke. Since 2005, we are still here dragging this type of case left and right after 11 years.

No wonder politicians always escape justice in this country after stealing the nation dry.

This is the handwork of Sanusi the Emir. If not how can a mere keke napep operator afford to hire SAN as an advocate.

This is a confirmed story of what is happening with tinted glass permit in Police command in Port Harcourt.

They try all possible means to frustrate the applicant if he or she is not playing the cards.

IG should be ashamed of his men in this command as they are next to corruption itself.

Billyonaire:
When Igbos declared their desire to have their country of Biafra, the Yorubas and the Northerners jointly killed Igbos forcing them to remain in 'One Nigeria'. Now that war was declared 'No vanquished, No Victor', and the Igbo people have decided to live in the forced 'One Nigeria'; And the Yorubas again have started to call Igbo people immigrant in the 'One Nigeria'.

If the Yoruba people truly do not believe in 'One Nigeria'; They should all move a motion in the National Assembly declaring Igbos as unwanted in Lagos, so we the people of Niger Delta can hold a referendum and declare our sovereign nation.

Igbo people should continue in their enterprise. Jealousy is the cause of these hate-syndrome.

You see. Stealing is in your blood. Now you are now people of Niger Delta.

Try and move an inche close to Rivers, Edo, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom because of oil. They will so deal with your criminal sense.

Why do you keep to your eroded red soil?

[quote author=scantee post=32596974]Reporting from pu02 Nwachukwu drive okota, fighting is currently going on between Apc touts in the area and some igbo guyz who were there to vote, one of the igbo guy voted for pdp and the apc touts indirectly hit him for voting pdp, unknowingly to them some group of agboro drinking around the pu02 are from SE and they quickly intervane by rounding up those touts about 9 of them and gave them a good beating of their life, the situation nearly cause tribal fight between the yorubas & igbos there, but unfortunatly most apc touts around there have igbos as their key members, the igbos in their midst hold them back & warned them to stay clear off their people, security men where alearted, the situation is under control now.

DARKLIGHT:
I'm loving this thread. Let the beast and the hate in man come out. The tribalism and the hatred among the ethnic groups will never cease. Mark my word! The Yoruba youths please implore the Federal Government of Nigeria to allow this "arrogant" Igbo "nuisance" to secede so that you will own Lagos and other Yoruba states alone without any interference from these "arrogant" Igbos. So that you Yorubas can prove to the Igbos that you are more "industrious" and "productive" than Igbos.

Then start the biafra phase 2. If you win, you secede.

futprintz:
it's rather unfortunate n appalling dat an Oba culdnt have envisaged de ramifications of de words dat proceed frm his mouth, atleast by virtue of his occupation of dat exalted stool. the Yoruba nation hav no right watsoever to blame the Igbos for their reactions or to dictate to them how to react in de face of such unwarranted n witless threat! One wuld expect dat they atleast show their acclaimed enlightenment n civility by holding Oba Akiolu responsible for his careless utterance and duely punish him for such unbecoming behaviour n for bringing such infamy, shame n disgrace to the sanctity of de stool by unsitting him! BTW,wat bizness has an Oba with mingling so deep in politics?!!! nigerians shuld learn to hold ppl responsible for their actions! Oba or no Oba NONSENSE!!!!! RUBBISH!!!!! dat's wat i expected of dis Oodua of a ppl...nt coming here to reel out jaundiced history dat no one really cares abt

Because the Oba has seen your agenda in Lagos.

Now we are all behind him. Do your worst...

Chukwugekwu:
I have not commented on this issue since it began but I think this article has forced me to write.I want to say that whatever group that write this stupid and foolish article shows how senseless some people can be. who ever wrote this article is a first class fool and ur Oba or wat ever u guys call him is a fool that is not supposed to exist in this age. he show how backward and uncivilized he is.that Oba is not even worth to be an Oba let alone not to be insulted. some people are very stupid by saying that we are supposed to show him respect when he did not show respect the whole Igbo nation. the man should resign if u think u place so much value in ur culture cus he is not fit to be an adult let alone a kind. thank u all and have a nice time.Oba akiolu is an idiott

You great great ancestor to your father are idiots.

Perceptor:
lemme adress d issues one by each. You igbos ar the pompous and egoistic ones, pple frm various tribes av confirmed that.
Lagos was made the capital because it had all the potential to be the center of excellence in nigeria. such potential av neva been found in any igbo land even in modern days.
Igbos ar not d only non indigenous tribe in lagos, hausas ar there in large numbers but they respect d privilege they enjoy unlike igbos. Igbo always av tendences of treason whereever they ar given opportunity to strive and that is why the hausas hate you to hell.

Are you replying this ashewo that develops lagos from her spot in Adeola Hopewell in VI?

Thats how she and her flat head kins are helping us develop Lagos.

REFUGEES, SLIPPERS HEADS, FLAT HEADS, INGRATES, CRIMINALS, ARROGANT

These are forenames of the Igbos.

The Bitter Truth About The Igbo, By Femi Fani-Kayode
August 8, 2013Premium Times
Femi Fani-Kayode
Femi Fani-Kayode
Permit me to make my second and final contribution to the raging debate about Lagos, who owns it and the seemingly endless tensions that exist between the Igbo and the Yoruba. It is amazing how one or two of the numerous nationalities that make up Nigeria secretly wish that they were Yoruba and consistently lay claim to Lagos as being partly theirs. Have they forgotten where they came from? I have never heard of a Yoruba wanting to give the impression to the world that he is an Igbo, an Ijaw, an Efik or a Hausa-Fulani or claiming that he is a co-owner of Port Harcourt, Enugu, Calabar, Kano or Kaduna. Yet more often than not, some of those that are not of Yoruba extraction but that have lived in Lagos for some part of their lives have tried to claim that they are bona fide Lagosians and honorary members of the Yoruba race.
Clearly it is time for us to answer the nationality question. These matters have to be settled once and for all. Lagos and the South-west are the land and the patrimony of the Yoruba and we will not allow anyone, no matter how fond of them we may be, to take it away from us or share it with us in the name of ”being nice”, ”patriotism”, ”one Nigeria” or anything else. The day that the Yoruba are allowed to lay claim to exactly the same rights and privileges that the indigenous people in non-Yoruba states and zones enjoy and the day they can operate freely and become commissioners and governors in the Niger Delta states, the North, the Middle Belt and the South-east, we may reconsider our position. But up until then, we shall not do so. Lagos is not a ”no-man’s land” but the land and heritage of the Yoruba people. Others should not try to claim what is not theirs.
I am not involved in this debate for fun or for political gain and I am not participating in it to play politics but rather to speak the truth, to present the relevant historical facts to those that wish to learn and to educate the uninformed. That is why I write without fear or favour and that is why I intend to be thoroughly candid and brutally frank in this essay. And I am not too concerned or worried about what anyone may think or how they may feel about what I am about to say because I am a servant of truth and the truth must be told no matter how bitter it is and no matter whose ox is gored. That truth is as follows. The Yoruba, more than any other nationality in this country in the last 100 years, have been far too accommodating and tolerant when it comes to their relationship with other nationalities in this country and this is often done to their own detriment. That is why some of our Igbo brothers can make some of the sort of asinine remarks and contributions that a few of them have been making in this debate both in the print media and in numerous social media portals and networks ever since Governor Fashola ”deported” 19 Igbo destitute back to Anambra state a while ago. In the last 80 years, the Igbo have been shown more generosity, accommodation, warmth and kindness and given more opportunities and leverage by the Yoruba than they have been offered by ANY other ethnic group in Nigeria. This is a historical fact. The Yoruba do not have any resentment for the Igbo and we have allowed them to do in our land and our territory what they have never allowed us to do in theirs. This has been so for 80 long years and it is something that we are very proud of. As I said elsewhere recently, to be accommodating and generous is a mark of civilisation and it comes easily to people that once had empires. The reason why many of our people take strong exception to the apparent outrage of the Igbo over this ”deportation” issue and the provocative comments of my friend and brother Chief Orji Uzor Kalu when he described Lagos as being a ”no man’s land” is because the Igbo have not only taken us for granted but they have also taken liberty for licence.
We cannot be expected to tolerate or accept that sort of irreverent and unintelligent rubbish simply because we still happen to believe in ”one Nigeria” and we will not sacrifice our rights or prostitute our principles on the alter of that ”one Nigeria”. Whether Nigeria is one or not, what is ours is ours and no one should test our resolve or make any mistake about that. ”One Nigeria” yes but no one should spit in our faces or covet our land, our treasure, our success, our history, our virtues, our being and our heritage and attempt to claim those for themselves simply because we took them in on a rainy day. It is that same attitude of ”we own everything”, ”we must have everything” and ”we must control everything” that the Igbo settlers manifested in the northern region in the late 50’s and early and mid-60’s that got them into so much trouble up there with the Hausa-Fulani and that eventually led to the terrible pogroms where almost one hundred thousand of them were killed in just a few days. Again it is that same attitude that they manifested in Lagos and the Western Region in the late ’30’s and the early and mid-40’s that alienated the Yoruba from them, that led to the establishment of the Action Group in April, 1951 and that resulted in the narrow defeat of Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe in the Western Regional elections of December, 1951. As a matter of fact they were the ones that FIRST introduced tribalism into southern politics in 1945 with the unsavoury comments of Mr. Charles Dadi Onyeama who was a member of the Central Legislative Council representing Enugu and who said at the Igbo State Union address that ”the domination of Nigeria and Africa by the Igbo is only a matter of time”.
That single comment, made in that explosive and historic speech, did more damage to southern Nigerian unity than any other in the entire history of our country and everything changed from that moment on. To make matters worse, in July 1948, Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe made his own openly tribal and incendiary speech, again at the Igbo State Union, in which he spoke about the ”god of the Igbo” eventually giving them the leadership of Nigeria and Africa. These careless and provocative words cost him dearly and put a nail in the coffin of the NCNC in the Western Region from that moment on. This was despite the fact that that same NCNC, which was easily the largest and most powerful political party in Nigeria at the time, had been founded and established by a great and illustrious son of the Yoruba by the name of Herbert Macauley. Macauley, like most of the Yoruba in his day, saw no tribe and he happily handed the leadership of the party over to Azikiwe, an Igbo man, in 1945 when he was on his dying bed. How much more can the Yoruba do than that when it comes to being blind to tribe? Can there be any greater evidence of our total lack of racial prejudice and tribal sentiments than that? If the NCNC had been founded and established by an Igbo man, would he have handed the whole thing over to a Yoruba on his death bed? I doubt it very much.
Again when northern military officers mutinied, effected their ”revenge coup” and went to kill the Igbo military Head of State, General Aguiyi-Ironsi on July 29th 1966 in the old Western Region, his host, the Yoruba Col. Fajuyi (who was military Governor of the Western Region at the time), insisted that they would have to kill him first before taking Aguiyi-Ironsi’s life and the northern officers (led by Major T.Y. Danjuma as he then was) promptly obliged him by slaughtering him before killing Aguiyi-Ironsi. How many Igbo know about that and how many times in our history have they made such sacrifices for the Yoruba? Would Aguiyi-Ironsi, or any other Igbo officer, have stood for Fajuyi, or any other Yoruba officer, and sacrificed his life for him in the same way that Fajuyi did had the roles been reversed? I doubt it very much. Yet instead of being grateful the Igbo continuously run us down, blame us for all their woes, envy our educational advantages and resent us deeply for our ability to excel in the professions and commerce. Unlike them, we were never traders but we were (and still are) industrialists and when it comes to the professions we were producing lawyers, doctors, accountants and university graduates at least three generations before they ever did. That is the bitter truth and they have been trying to catch up with us ever since. For example the first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935.
Yet despite all this and all that they have been through over the years and despite their terrible experiences in the civil war we are witnessing that same attitude of ”we must control all”, ”we must own all” and ”we must have all” rearing its ugly head again today when it comes to their attitude to the issue of the deportations from Lagos state and when you consider the comments of the Orji Kalu’s of this world about the Igbo supposedly ”owning Lagos” with the Yoruba and supposedly ”generating 55 per cent of the state’s revenue”. It is most insulting.
And I must say that it is wrong and unfair for anyone to lay the blame for the perennial suspicion and underlying tensions that lie between the two nationalities on the Yoruba because that is far from the truth. We are not the problem, they are. Pray tell me, in the whole of Nigeria who treated the Igbo better than the Yoruba after the civil war and who gave them somewhere to run to where they could regain all their ”abandoned property” and feel at home again? Who encouraged them to return to Lagos and the West and who saved the jobs that they held before the civil war for them to come back to when the war ended? No other tribe or nationality did all that for them in the country- only the Yoruba did so. And the people of the old Mid-West and the Eastern minorities (who make up the zone that is collectively known as the ”south-south’ today) have always viewed them with suspicion, have always feared them and have always resented them deeply. From the foregoing, any objective observer can tell that we the Yoruba have always played our part when it comes to accommodating others. This is particularly so when it comes to the Igbo who we have always had a soft spot for and who we have always regarded as brothers and sisters. It is time that those ”others” also play their part by acquiring a little more humility, by knowing and accepting their place in the scheme of things and by desisting from giving the impression that they own our territory or that they made us what we are.

This singarly ownership of Lagos they are pushing will wipe them out of this world.

IGBOS COME OUT AND VOTE YOUR BROTHER JIMI TODAY OOO.

LET THAT WAR YOU WANT START.

saxywale:

Let's start from here; I am willing and ready to go to any length with this proposal

Igbo people must leave SW. Enough of this nonsense.

Come out and fight for the land you own.

Enough of the igbos rubbish in Lagos.

We want to know the owners of Lagos during this election.

Okoros should come out on Saturday and fight for Lagos.
